When I looked at the fdisk source, I got the impression that
it takes the disk geometry info from opendisk, so maybe also
there interesting things happen (see the comment I posted in prev msg)

I'll find some time (sometime next couple of days) and experiment a bit;
when I find/know more, I'll post here.

Thanks for listening!
Axel.
